Common Ground for Action

Common Ground for Action (CGA) is an online deliberation and strategy platform developed by our founding partner Conteneo in collaboration with The Kettering Foundation. Rooted in the Kettering Foundation’s mission of cooperative research, Common Ground for Action moves participants from informed to engaged — engagement that comes from exposing participants, through an online deliberative process, to the broad spectrum of drawbacks and advantages of actions in a complex issue. CGA is used for complex, multi-dimensional issues where there is no easy answer. Issues like immigration, energy policy, environmental issues and more.
